A lot of other more normal margarines are technically vegan coz they just use sunflower oil, but they lot do contain a lot of unpronouncables which are often best avoided!

I'd rather have less of something that tastes good (like cheese) rather than loads of some weird substitution (weird reduced-fat cheese). Quality, not quantity, right? @tokaiangel: what’s the story with that non-dairy margarine stuff? does it contain any weird unnatural ingredients or hydrogenated fats? definitely get your hand on some blackberries. or any berries or fruits. the polenta topping is great!

However, I'm one of those Americans who likes desserts that contain tart fruits to be really, really sweet to compensate. It's like I've got the tastebuds of a five year old. But I'd rather indulge less often and have it every bit as sweet as I want rather than still get 90% of the sugar and feel vaguely cheated. That looks and sounds fantastic!

My usual crumble topping tastes exactly the same veganified, and that's what I normally do. Like the idea of using polenta. I'll have to get out in the country this weekend and see if I can find any blackberries, I love em! Thanks for sharing the recipe and pictures!

I need worker bees! You'd get to keep some, of course. =) Sally, you should come to London - picking blackberries is a lot easier with two people! I need worker bees!

(And I shared those two cups--aren't I generous??)
